COLLEGE READY NOW - COLLEGE TOUR

YAF College Ready Now - College Tour

College selection ranks as one of the major decisions a young person is asked to make. A college degree positively impacts a person's esteem, employability, and earning potential. It is never too early for students to start thinking about career aspirations. The core of college planning starts in the 7th grade. This is the time that students should start examining their concerns, interest, and strengths to determine their future career paths.

Every student has a unique gift. When these gifts are nurtured and cultivated, their family, community and country will be the beneficiaries. The recognition of a student’s gifts, will give them insight into their interest. This insight is the first step toward developing their purpose. Hence, the motto for YAF College Ready Now is “Discovering Interest to Manifest Purpose”. In order for students to discover their interest, the YAF College Ready Now program encourages them to become good decision makers.
